How do you resolve your feuds?

[setratus]

By feuds, I generally don't mean the storyline feuds that Tom has in the storyline. I'm talking about those random feuds that pop up every now and then such as Wolf fights fights Mutant, Mutant gets DQ'd for hitting Wolf with a chair, beginning a feud.

I generally have two ways of going about it, the simple version and calculated version.

Simple:

First to have a clean victory wins the match. If there has been three matches without a clean victory, a special match is made to settle the feud

Calculated:

Not including the original match that started the feud (Mutant gets DQ'd for hitting Wolf with a chair), each wrestler has to get to 4 points). You get two points for a clean victory and 1 point for a DQ/countout victory, but the only way to win the feud is to win cleanly. So, you could be winning the feud 4-1, but because you won your last match via DQ, the feud continues. This could mean that your opponent can storm back and win 5-4, so watch out!) Also, if the total amount of feud points is 4+ and there isn't a victor, each match is a special match.

So, let's take a look at this in two different ways:

Example #1 (Standard Feud):

Feud Starter: Wolf wins by DQ over Mutant (feud starts)
Match #1: Mutant pins Wolf (Mutant up 2-0)
Match #2: Wolf beats Mutant (Tied 2-2)
Match #3: Wolf beats Mutant in a cage (Wolf wins feud 4-2)

Example #2 (Extended Feud):

Feud starter: Wolf wins by DQ over Mutant (feud starts)
Match #1: Mutant pins Wolf (Mutant up 2-0)
Match #2: Mutant beats Wolf by countout (Mutant up 3-0)
Match #3: Mutant beats Wolf by DQ (Mutant up 4-0, but does not win feud because of DQ finish)
Match #4: Wolf beats Mutant in a Cage(Mutant up 4-2)
Match #5: Wolf beats Mutant in a Titan Death match (Feud tied 4-4)
Match #6: Wolf beats Mutant in a Torture Chamber match (Wolf wins feud 6-4)

What do you think?

That's actually pretty interesting. I myself just settle feuds by writing them, sometimes running with a feud, other times just letting it die off. But that little system there is pretty fun to look at. Maybe I'll use it alittle bit to hep me determine when I should drop a feud off. Thanks for this.

I think its interesting as well. I go by the book but also, like everyone, have side feuds. They are handled almost as yours are: regular match then special match and, if needed, another speciality, but bigger and better, match.

I write up my feuds about 3 years ahead of the story line that I am in. And I have the wrestler(s) fight throughout the year and I keep track of the won loss record. Some feuds go back and forth and were great feuds like the Ani-men vs Gladiators. Some feuds even though lopsided like Thantos crushing Star Warrior for 6 years I kept it going because it was Thantos and S.W. If the fued does become lopsided like Body Count (Vigilante and S.O.F.) crushing New Order then I can manouver the feuds around and find them new opponents.

I don't . I just keep going until they fight/challenge someone as in the storyline booklets . Until then they will just keep on going at it in one match or another .

These little side fueds do pop up from time to time. I usually don't have a specific plan for them. I just play it out and see what happens.

My major COTG feuds usually get resolved in torture chamber matches. Except for resolving major feuds, I otherwise don't usually have many torture chamber matches.

My major LOW feuds (such as Jimmy Snuka vs Don Muraco and the Road Warriors vs Bruiser Brody and Steve "Dr. Death" Williams) have been resolved in Hell in the Cell matches (using Circinus Cell match rules).

But my recent feud between Jimmy Snuka and Larry Zbyszko ended in an "I Quit" match in which Zbyszko gave Snuka a PILEDRIVER onto some electrical equipment outside the ring which knocked Snuka unconscious. The referee awarded the match to Zbyszko, but technically Snuka never said "I Quit." I was thinking then of having one more match (this time Hell in the Cell) betweeen Snuka and Zbyszko but Zbyszko then got drafted from my RAW to my Smackdown brand. So that feud might need to get revisited at least once more sometime in the future of my fed.
